Hi All
Sitting home bored while recovering from surgery, I found some drone footage from earlier this year.
Thought there may be some interest here
It's a very short piece.... Hope you enjoy !

PS. Can't wait to get back out again.......

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,

You know, when drone photography first started I thought I'm going to get very tired of this!
But it really does provide a viewpoint that you just can't get with your feet on the ground.
Thanks very much for that.

Cheers
Allan

I agree, Alan, but I have also seen some amazing stuff.
I have been a bit that way with the GoPro as well. Everyone these days seems to be hanging our of their car with a camera on a stick. Have not seen much to inspire with GoPro, but the drones are good when in capable hands.

Thanks Paul
We drove past the road down to lookout over the water and saw nothing to the horizon.
Your drone sees beyond that.
Thankyou for the youtube

Thanks for the comments guys.
It was just some footage I had lying around from a recent trip down that way. Thought I should do something with it.
I normally use a mixture of SLR, Go Pro & a hand held video camera as well as the drone but the drone footage is always the most impressive of them all.
I am certainly no pro, this is just a hobby & a way to record my trips.
Glad you liked it
Cheers
Paul.

Good footage nice looking bay I wonder why they never had to do some rehab like open it up so one day it might be an area that fish etc can use again.

Hi
There is talk of the Point Henry and Moolap sites could one day be home to a residential development, tourism facilities, and a new environmental parkland but not sure when this would happen.
I know that Alcoa are currently cleaning up their old site at Point Henry.

Cheers
Paul
